Frequently Asked Questions:

(read through the #askbox tag before asking to see if I’ve already answered! repeat questions and spam will be deleted.)

1. What program and brush do you use?

Clip Studio Paint, and I alternate between two brushes: fat sketcher 2 from stealthnacho’s brushset, and short vertical bar (dual brush) from sparth’s art pack 1

2. What tablet do you use?

I use a Surface Pro 8, which is a laptop where you can draw directly onto the screen. However, this is a really pricey purchase and before I had it, I used an Intuous Tablet for 6 years and loved it.

3.Can I repost your art on other platforms?

You can, but please credit me every time!

4.Can I write a fic/make fanart/ make an OC based on your AU?

Yeah sure!

5.Have you thought of what monster [insert character] would be? / Will you be adding [insert character] to the monster AU?

If I haven’t talked about certain characters already, I probably won’t at all. And I don’t have anything against these characters, but it’s more like I’m largely indifferent and have 0 thoughts. Do what you will, I made my AU as a sandbox for others to play in too, so you decide what to do with these characters!

6.Will you ever draw Konig/Soapbox again?

If I feel like it, probably! But the brainrot where it was the main focus has definitely passed <3

7. Can I use your art for c.ai/ character bots?

I'd really prefer it if you didn't, sorry! I take a largely anti-AI stance on most things now.

37 with Alexia

37 //getting turned on by the other's jealousy//

It wasn’t often that you got jealous and that is because you were very secure in your relationship and you trusted Alexia implicitly.

This moment though was enough to wake up the green eyed monster within you. Losing the World Cup final was one thing but seeing Alexia swap shirts with her ex girlfriend didn’t sit well with you at all.

You and Lucy stayed out on the pitch to watch Spain celebrate their win. It was both a way of showing respect and proudness towards your club team mates but it was also a form of self punishment with the two of you less than happy with your performance.

“I’ve never seen you jealous” Lucy comments from beside where you sat in the pitch.

“I’m not jealous” you fall back in frustration.

You truly believed the words you were saying. You weren’t jealous, you were pissed off and it was getting worse with every lingering touch made by Jenni and Alexia’s obliviousness didn’t makes things better.

Meanwhile Alexia watches you with Lucy and wonders what is the best thing to do. She knew that you would want your space but she wanted to be with you more than she did her team mates.

Your eyes are closed when you hear footsteps approach you and you hear a faint congratulations come from Lucy. It didn’t take a rocket science to figure out who she was talking to.

“Mi alma” Alexia says as she takes a seat beside you.

“You don’t get to call me that right now” you remain laid out leading Alexia to join you on laying on her back too.

“Why not? I know this must hurt but we are still us”

If you weren’t so mad you would have found the softness in Alexia’s words and tone cute.

“No we are not. You are an us with her” you sit up in frustration.

“With who?” Your girlfriend asked us confusion.

“Look at your shirt and take a guess”

“Y/N we are friends, she is —“

“You’re wearing her name Alexia! Her name! I want you wearing mine, not hers!”

Alexia could tell you were upset and if she knew that the small gesture of swapping shirts with Jenni would affect you this way then she wouldn’t have done it. She knew that she should feel bad and part of her does but there is another feeling that outweighs that one.

You saw the look in Alexia’s eyes change. They darken and it was a sight you knew well and in almost any other circumstance it would be a welcomed sight, but not right now.

“I like your jealous side” Alexia says whilst giving you a look, the look.

“Really? This is turning you on?”

Your girlfriend shrugs her shoulders innocently. It’s not like she is in control of her body when she is around you.

“What if I take the shirt off?” The suggestion is a good one.

“It’s a start” you say knowing that Alexia won’t do it. You are on the pitch with thousands on fans’ eyes on you and god knows how many cameras.

These factors don’t seem to bother Alexia as she happily strips herself of the shirt donning her ex girlfriend’s last name.

;R1999 6 - Relationship Headcanons

Compilation of headcanons about 6 in a romantic relationship.

I was struggling soooooo hard with another 6 request so I had to get this post out of my system fist before tackling that one

Okay, first of all! I don't see 6 as the type of person who would be that interested in having a relationship, at least not beyond what is expected of him as the leader of Apeiron. It's the least of his priorities as of now.

Part of it is largely due to his responsibilities--he knows that he cannot afford to show any sort of favoritism, and he is much too thoughtful to force someone he cares about under such pressure, simply because he harbors feelings for them. It's very ironic that the one thing that defines his entire life and existence is also what keeps him from seeking any deeper relationships. 6 knows more than anyone that the loneliness of his title would be extended to his partner, and so, he has no actual firsthand experience in romantic relationships other than what he might've studied while in reclusion.

Of course, this isn't to say that he's entirely inept when it comes to socializing or all sorts of relationships. He is the best at being 6 for a reason, as much as he dislikes it.

We know that he loves his people, if his devotion to his role of leader is anything to go by. And he clearly cares about his friendship with 210, 37 and Sophia, as strained or complex as these dynamics may be, as he makes sure to retrieve the crown that they made for him each and every day that it's stolen. He loved his aunt Alma too, she played a big role in his upbringing after all.

So 6 isn't a stranger to love, but he is very passive about it.

To describe 6 as "passive" could be seen as an insult, especially after what his character event showed us in relation to his struggle against fate, but I think there's a key difference to the passive nature that is presented between 6 prior to receiving the Revelation and after he settles in as the new leader. His initial lack of action was fueled by resignation, a fear for the inevitable fate his bloodline carries. But now, he knows that refusing to act is sometimes necessary to maintain the harmony within the island, this is why he's described as a mediator. Love can happen, but there's no reason to upset the precarious balance he maintains by indulging in romance.

On the subject of 6 developing a crush.

6 is an extremely introspective man with a very good grasp on his own feelings and thoughts--even more so now that he's obtained the Revelation! If he has a crush then trust me, he knows. He notices the fondness he has for you the moment those feelings start blooming in his chest.

And he's not going to do a single thing about it.

He's not going to act upon any of his feelings. He's not going to let anyone find out, for the sake of maintaining this perfect balance. His behaviour remains the same, no signs of being flustered whatsoever. There are no fleeting glances, no hands brushing on accident. He doesn't stare at you from afar, wondering if you could ever love him, pining and yearning for your attention.

That doesn't happen, not in public.

Just like every other detail about his life, his thoughts of you are kept private, for him to ponder on whenever he's alone in his room, meditating. The outside world has no business bearing witness to these feelings--you are special to him and so, he keeps the memory of you safe and sound. 6 is much too mature to actually pine and yearn, but he does like to wonder and explore other possibilities, another life in which he's not burdened by fate, in which he's given the choice to find his own soul number for as long as it takes. Another life in which he can openly confess without fearing for what might happen to you should you accept him.

I like to think that these little fantasies help him tolerate the stress of the daily routine, it's something nice that gives him solace. When he's alone, his existence isn't defined by a number nor the history of his family, he can just be at ease and dream of better things.

I want to stress the fact that he wouldn't confess, no matter how strong his feelings are. Even if you happened to reciprocate, 6 would always prioritize the stability of Apeiron and turn you down for your sake and everyone else's. 6 would actually prefer to be close friends with his crush.

On the subject of dating 6.

I like to think that for 6 to start considering the idea of courting you, you have to actually debate him.

Not a battle of attrition like the debates 210 insists on having, but a fair and honest discussion to give him proof and solid arguments that could help him ease into the idea of dating someone for love, rather than duty. Something like this would really ease 6's mind, being able to get to know you better through the way you defend yourself and the love you hold for him, as well as weighting the public's reaction. Two birds in one stone. If you manage to do that, then there's no reason for him to object.

I don't know what I like the most out of these options though, the idea of 6 choosing to give a proper confession in private to finally share everything he's kept to himself, so that you may accept all of him at his most honest and vulnerable. Or him not confessing, choosing to invite you to his study and enjoy a moment of respite in absolute silence, knowing that there's nothing keeping you two from being together. So whichever floats your boat!

When it comes to actually dating him, not much would change.

6 understands that there's been a considerable shift in his life, but his lack of experience and solitary lifestyle would lead him to continue with his routine--if you want to see him, then you'll have to seek him out like you've always done. He's more than content knowing you're aware of his feelings and wouldn't really seek to change anything else, so it's entirely up to you to communicate and discuss what you'd like out of this relationship. He'll be more than glad to listen and accomodate you as much as he can.

You taking the initiative in this might also fuel him to share the things he'd like to do! Again, this passive nature doesn't come from shyness, but duty. I can see him being open to anything and being very direct about his own needs, as long as he can continue to separate his personal life and time with you from his time outside and his responsibilities.

Overall, dating 6 is a very calm experience! He never got the chance to know himself without the pressure of the Revelation, but he enjoys getting to know you instead. While most of the time he simply asks you to sit with him and relax, he puts the effort into finding time to spend with you, even if it's just walking together from one place to another before both of you must tend to your respective duties.

On the subject of his partner not being from Apeiron.

The way I see it, 6 is a little more lenient with certain aspects--unlike 37, for example. I don't see her capable of being in a romantic relationship with an irrational number, and getting to trust someone from outside who isn't specifically aiming to adapt to the scriptures will take a long time, but 6 is a little more flexible under the proper circumstances.

I believe this is the case because of his Bond: Morning voice line!

...One should never parcel off the loaf, for it's a violation of the scripture. But we are not on the island. So, please enjoy the freedom.

So the moment this pressure of responsibility is lifted from his shoulders, I think he would be open to the possibility of his partner being literally anyone. Because of the Revelation, I don't think 6 is blinded by faith like other members of Apeiron are, if else he's burdened by the contradictions and paradoxes that are natural in the world.

Not sure how he would feel with a human partner though! Chapter 05 only says that humans and mankind as a whole are dismissed entirely as "imaginary numbers," forbidden on the island, and there's no specifics on how they feel about mixed arcanists.

Round of cute things.

Literally just a round of cute things that 6 would do or enjoy because I don't know how to incorporate them onto the post in a fancy way.

His crown was made to keep his hair out of his face, but we can see that it's not doing a very good job lol. I think 6 would really find it charming whenever his partner tucks his hair behind his ear so they can get a look at his face--he's much too used to hiding and keeping to himself, so wanting to be seen by you is a pretty new experience. It's also a very casual and innocent gesture, so whenever he feels like getting you to pay attention to him (more than often as a way to excuse himself out of some other conversation) he will allow his hair to drape over his face hoping you'll notice.

6 isn't big on public displays of affection. Just sitting next to you is more than enough for him--but if he happens to notice you get lonely or make cute eyes at him, he will scoot close until your shoulders bump into each other. If 6 is feeling particularly cuddly, he will hold your hand.

But behind closed doors, 6 is very partial to kissing the top of your head or your temple. It's a very gentle kiss, he doesn't even pucker up, just closes his eyes, gently rests his lips there and hums to himself. And he could stay there for a long time if you let him.

If 6 is feeling restless for whatever reason, I can see him asking you to read something for him, so he can concentrate on the sound of your voice and nothing else. It's very soothing to him. He prefers that you read something he can tune out, as opposed to telling him something he'd like to pay attention to--like your thoughts or how your day has been.

Oh! Also, I don't see him as the type to want matching accessories or material things like that, but if you were to give him a gift or something to match with you, he would specifically ask you to keep it simple--nothing gilded, nothing shiny, nothing that is easy for seagulls to steal. Something like a little string bracelet, if possible in your favorite colors rather than his--it might be just a small fragment in a world of matters, but it means so much to him.

Also also, 6 does notice a lot of your gestures or expressions, the little things about you that often go unnoticed. The way you might scrunch your nose, tilt your head, fiddle with your hands, tap your feet--anything.

Confess to your sins

Parings: DomSamuel Lafferty X SubReader

Warnings: Orgasm Denial, unprotected sex, Sir kink, cock warming, breeding kink, AFAB reader, praising

Here you are laying in the arms of your husband, legs spread rubbing his hands over your thighs “come on Angel read this one” he points to a paragraph on a page of his copy of ‘The Book Of Mormon’ you don’t respond melting into the touch of Sam “I said read the next one Angel” he lightly slaps your thigh “I…I’m sorry Sir…And it came to pass that Alma, who had been the chief judge over the land, did not judge them; for he had given up the judgment-seat to Nephihah, and had confined himself wholly to the high priesthood of the holy order of God, to the testimony of the word, according to the spirit of revelation and prophecy." Alma 4:20” Sam kisses your neck

“Good girl good girl, read that part one more time for me” he pushes your white lace panties to the side ghosting his fingers over your clit “And it came to pass that Alma, who had been the chief judge over the land, did not judge them; for he had given up the judgment-seat to Nephihah, and had confined himself wholly to the high priesthood of the holy order of God, to the testimony of the word, according to the spirit of revelation and prophecy. Alma 4:20” he smirks “see there you go babydoll, you can listen. Now can you tell me what that means because it seems like you don’t know what it means” you stare back at him with a blank expression “it m-means uhh…”

Sam starts rubbing his long slender fingers over your clit not missing a spot “mhm I’m listening babydoll” rubbing faster and faster, slight moans spilling from your lips..he stops and removes his fingers, you whine at the loss of contact “I asked you a question Angel, explain to me what Alma 4:20 is about and what it means” you swallow deeply “it was when Alma stepped down to dedicate himself to all the responsibilities of the High Priest, it showed the importance of the religious duties he had placed. It was an example of faith and devotion” Sam cocks a brow at you “and? What is it trying to show you sweetness?” “T-the serious consequences one can face when speaking out against the p-priesthood and the doctrines of Christ” he kissed your forehead, and started rubbing your clit at a fast pace “Good job Angel, you did so good. Keep reading, how about…hmm this one” moans falling out of your mouth as Sam flips through the pages of the book finding a quote for you to read

“C-counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will d-direct th-oh my goodness” your words are cut short of Sam plunging 2 fingers deep inside you “what was that beautiful?” Your eyes shooting back to the book “Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good.”—Alma 37:37” his fingers picking up the pace “and what does that one mean?” You lick your lips trying to form a real sentence “Seeking guidance from the lord in everything you do” his opposite hand coming up to run against your matching white lace bra “my girl is doing so so good, you deserve a break” he grabs the book, placing the bookmark inside, shutting it and placing it next to him on the bed.

“Sir please touch me please” throwing your head back against his shoulder “What do you mean, I am touching you babydoll” his fingers hitting that spongy spot deep inside you perfectly, moans leaving you left and right “aww are you close Angel?” You nod, grabbing ahold of his shirt “Sir” bringing you so close to that sweet release he suddenly removes his fingers from inside you “Not right now babygirl, you don’t deserve to cum. You went against our priesthood, why should you get to cum?” You whine is protest against your husband “Whining isn’t going to get you anything sweetness, it’s going to get you into more and more trouble” he kisses along your neck, grabbing the book and placing it into your hands “Next page” you open to the next page “this one” he points to the now 8th quote of the night “And he had gone about among the people, crying out against the people, saying that they should not believe in the traditions of their fathers, and that there is no God; yea, and teaching many things which were flattering unto the people; and this he did that he might overthrow the doctrine of Christ." - Alma 30:31” looking back at him for a response “Why are you looking at me? Look at the book. You know what’s next” his hands go to undo his belt “I-it was when Korihor was urging people to go against their traditions, and to deny god. He was trying to undermine the doctrine of Christ and deceive people” you look back at him waiting for his approval “good job Angel, now sit”

You lift your hips off the bed Scooting back to sink down onto his length “oh babydoll, that’s it..” he whispers into your ear, you start to move up and down, he grabs your hips bringing you to a halt “I never said you could move, remember this is a punishment sweetheart. Stay still” you roll your eyes “please please please, I’m sorry sir please” he laughs lowly “what did I just say? Read.” You pick the book back up turning the page “that one there” he point to yet another quote “And he had gone about among the people, preaching to them that which he termed to be the word of God, bearing down against the church. Alma 1:3, it’s about a person claiming what he said was the word of god, but what he was saying went against the established church” he rubbed your side “there you go babydoll you’re getting the hang of it” you clench down on him causing him to hiss “Stop moving.”

“Im sorry Sir” you turn the page finding a quote on your own “But it is by the prayers of the righteous that ye are spared; now therefore, if ye will cast out the righteous from among you then will not the Lord stay his hand. Alma 10:23, means that the people are being spared from God's wrath because of the prayers of the righteous among them. If they were to cast out the righteous individuals, then God would no longer hold back his punishment.” You look back at him for approval “There you go darling, doing it all by yourself. My sweet innocent good girl” he presses a kiss to the back of your neck “Goodness you look so pretty my sweet angel” he grabs your hips lifting you up slightly to bring you back down harshly. A moan ripping through your throat “Shh shh not to loud beautiful” he repeats his movements again and again “Oh my goodness Angel…you feel amazing, feel good?” You nod your head fast “words darling” you grab his shirt “Yes yes sir…yes” your eyes rolling back at the intense pleasure “Good Girl”

“You look so so pretty babydoll, all pretty dressed up for me in your white lace panties.” He toys with the waistband of your panties “Sir..” “hold it” he says with his stern southern accent “I..I can’t” “you can, and you’re going to” tears forming in your eyes, you try your hardest to hold it as long as possible “Sir please..I can’t hold it longer” he shakes his head “I already told you to hold it, you can do it sweetness come on” he grabs the book from you placing it back on the nightstand, he places a hand on your stomach “God seeing you all pretty and pregnant for me, waiting for me to come home. How does that sound Angel? You like that?” You nod “Yes..yes sir please” your clench growing tighter and tighter against him

“Yeah? You like that?” Low groans coming from Sam as he rubs your stomach softly, coming so close to that sweet release “Please” he picks up his pace “Go ahead darling, cum for me” that was all you needed to hear, throwing your head back, your back arching off of his chest, cries falling off your lips and you finally get the release you’ve been needing “Thats it babydoll, Good…girl” Sam thrusts with each work, releasing his cum inside you “Good Job Angel, good job” he kisses your cheek, rubbing your head “Come on lay down” he lays you down on the bed, grabbing a glass of water he had prepared before hand “Drink this sweetheart” he holds you in his arms as you try to catch your breath “You’re so good to me beautiful, so so good” you wrap your arms around him laying onto his chest “are you okay my love?” You nod “yeah im okay, I’m sorry for speaking against the-“ he interrupted you “Shh it’s okay, just don’t do it again okay? Just go to sleep” you nod “okay” he runs his fingers through your hair as you slowly start to drift asleep, he kissed your forehead “I love you my sweet angel”

Little Facts about Imani:

Imani is a graduate of the Reality of Wrestling school.

Before signing with the WWE, Imani was the it girl on the indie circuit from 2008-2015, shattering glass ceilings and expectations from fans and critics alike. She signed with the WWE in mid-2015 and would make her first appearance on NXT confronting Bayley. She would win the NXT Women's Championship at TakeOver: Dallas and begin a near 5 month feud with the former champion.

She still holds the record for longest NXT Women's Championship title reign at 502 days before being defeated by Ember Moon at TakeOver: WarGames 2017. She would make main roster debut the RAW after WrestleMania 34.

She appeared in the first ever Women's Royal Rumble at entry number 4, lasting 35:46 before being eliminated by Asuka.

In 2019, she made a surprise appearance at NXT TakeOver: WarGames as the mystery teammate for Team Ripley after Mia Yim was injured prior to the pay-per-view.

In June 2022, Imani got into a terrifying car accident while at home in Orlando. Her injuries unfortunately were bad enough that it forced her to relinquish her Smackdown Women's Title. Imani returned the RAW after WrestleMania 100% cleared to compete again.

For her WrestleMania 38 entrance, Imani paid tribute to her Houston roots. She entered the arena surrounded by drivers of slabs with her in the main car.

Her dream WrestleMania entrance is to have either Megan Thee Stallion or Kendrick Lamar performing her theme.

Imani’s entrance music is heavily influenced by a mixture of 90s/00s hip hop and 2000s grunge.

Imani loves horror movies and musicals. Very odd combo I know, but a girl likes what she likes. Her favorite horror movie is Dracula/Scream and her favorite musical is Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Right now Imani has over 13 tattoos and counting, 13 to symbolize her lucky number. And yes, a good amount of her tattoos were done on Friday the 13th.

When Imani was 13 and Nylah was 7, they went into the custody of their paternal grandparents.

When Imani was 7 years old, her father died unexpectedly while on his way home from work. According to the autopsy, he suffered a brain aneurysm while driving on the road.

Imani, though a social butterfly, tends to keep her private life extremely secretive, especially in regards to her childhood.

Imani participated heavily in sports as a teen; mainly basketball, volleyball, and track & field. She was also heavily involved in choir and her school's theater department.

Imani has her B.A. in Music from TSU. Thanks to her grandparents she is classically trained in piano and can play the guitar. There was a time before she got into wrestling that she wanted to be a singer or a songwriter.

Imani's grandmother Evangeline was terrified learning her baby wanted to be a wrestler, but she agreed to let her train on one condition: that she went to college and get a degree just in case.

A few of Imani's major wrestling influences are Rey Mysterio, Chyna, Lita, The Wild Samoans, Batista, Trish Stratus, Eddie Guerrero, and Shawn Michaels.

Imani reps her hometown teams the Houston Texans and the Houston Astros.

She is very close friends with Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Bayley, Sami Zayn, Finn Balor, Samantha Irvin, Zelina Vega, Naomi, and Jade Cargill.

She met Damian Priest in 2014 during the final stretch of her indie days and the two quickly formed a friendship.

Imani is fluent in three languages: Spanish, French, and German. She knows a little Japanese and is currently learning Italian.

She has an insane sweet tooth. She loves brownies, cakes, and ice cream, especially cookies-and-cream ice cream. Her favorite candy is watermelon rings.

Imani's signature fragrance is a perfume she created at a local shop in New Orleans. It's a blend of vanilla, black orchid, and amber that she pairs with Eos Cashmere Vanilla lotion.

Imani grew up in an affluent musical family. Her grandmother was a jazz singer in New Orleans for 30 years and her grandfather played trombone for her band (that's how they met).

Imani has three pets: an orange Tabby male named Cheddar, a Maine Coon female named Satine, and a grey pitbull male named Obi that she adopted during a UK tour.

She's a BIG ass nerd. Loves Lord of the Rings, Marvel, and is currently obsessed with a show called The Legend of Vox Machina. And she plays D&D with Xavier Woods.

The first thing she did with her first big paycheck, aside from paying her student loans, was pay off her grandparents house in Houston and move them to Orlando to be close to her.

Her favorite two matches of her career so far have been her vs Ember Moon at TakeOver WarGames and main eventing WrestleMania 37 with Bianca Belair.

Her sister Nylah is 6 years younger than her. Nylah is currently finishing her Master's in Law at Howard University. Nylah plans to use her degree and become a Civil Rights Attorney.

Cultivating Faith, Hope, and Humility: Lessons from Alma 32:21-37

Alma 32:21-37 provides deep insights into faith and hope from a Latter-day Saint perspective. This scripture highlights their essential role in salvation, connecting it to everyday spiritual growth. In this section, we'll explore what faith and hope mean

Expository Study of Alma 32:21-37: Faith, Hope, and Humility Explained Faith and hope aren’t just abstract concepts in Alma 32:21-37; they’re pivotal in our spiritual journey, rooting us in the gospel’s transformative power. In these verses, Alma teaches that faith is “a hope for things which are not seen, which are true.” He offers the metaphor of planting a seed to represent nurturing faith.…

¿POR QUÉ LA CANCIÓN SE LLAMA "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY" ?...

¿POR QUÉ DURA EXACTAMENTE 5 MINUTOS 55 SEGUNDOS ?... ¿DE QUÉ TRATA REALMENTE ESTA CANCIÓN?...¿POR QUÉ LA PELÍCULA DE QUEEN SE ESTRENÓ EL 31 DE OCTUBRE?

La película se estrenó el 31 de octubre porque el single se escuchó por primera vez el 31 de octubre de 1975. Se titula así porque una "Rapsodia" es una pieza musical libre compuesta en diferentes partes y temas donde parece que ninguna parte tiene relación con la otra. La palabra "rapsodia" proviene del griego y significa "partes ensambladas de una canción". La palabra "bohemian" hace referencia a una región de la República Checa llamada Bohemia, lugar donde nació Fausto, el protagonista de la obra que lleva su nombre escrita por el dramaturgo y novelista Goethe. En la obra de Goethe, Fausto era un anciano muy inteligente que sabía todo excepto el misterio de la vida. Al no comprenderlo decide envenenarse.

Justo en ese instante suenan las campanas de la iglesia y sale a la calle. De vuelta a su habitación, se encuentra que hay un perro. El animal se transforma en una especie de hombre. Se trata del diablo Mefistófeles. Este, promete a Fausto vivir una vida plena y no ser desgraciado a cambio de su alma. Fausto accede, rejuvenece y se vuelve arrogante. Conoce a Gretchen y tienen un hijo. Su mujer e hijo fallecen. Fausto viaja a través del tiempo y espacio y se siente poderoso. Al hacerse nuevamente viejo se siente desgraciado otra vez. Como no rompió el pacto con el diablo, los ángeles se disputan su alma. Esta obra es esencial para comprender Bohemian Rhapsody.

La canción habla del propio Freddie Mercury. Al ser una rapsodia nos encontramos con 7 partes diferentes:

1er y 2o acto A Capella

3er acto Balada

4o acto solo de guitarra

5o acto ópera

6o acto rock

7o acto "coda" o acto final

La canción habla de un pobre chico que se cuestiona si esta vida es real o es su imaginación distorsionada la que vive otra realidad. Dice que aunque él deje de vivir, el viento seguirá soplando sin su existencia. Así que hace un trato con el diablo y vende su alma.

Al tomar esta decisión, corre a contárselo a su madre y le dice...

“Mamá, acabo de matar a un hombre, le puse una pistola en la cabeza y ahora está muerto. He tirado mi vida a la basura. Si no estoy de vuelta mañana sigue hacia adelante como si nada importara...” Ese hombre que mata es a él mismo, al propio Freddie Mercury.

Si no cumple el pacto con el diablo, morirá inmediatamente. Se despide de sus seres queridos y su madre rompe a llorar, lágrimas y llanto desesperado que proviene de las notas de guitarra de Brian May. Freddie, asustado grita "mamá no quiero morir" y empieza la parte operística. Freddie se encuentra en un plano astral donde se ve a sí mismo: "I see a little silhoutte of a man" (veo la pequeña silueta de un hombre).. "scaramouche, vas a montar una disputa/pelea?

Scaramouche es "escaramuza" una disputa entre ejércitos con jinetes a caballo (4 jinetes del Apocalipsis del mal luchan contra las fuerzas del bien por el alma de Freddie) y sigue diciendo "Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me" (truenos y relámpagos me asustan demasiado). Esta frase aparece en la Biblia, exactamente en Job 37 cuando dice... "the thunder and lightning frighten me: my heart pounds in my chest" (el trueno y el relámpago me asustan: mi corazón late en mi pecho). Su madre al verle tan asustado por la decisión que ha tomado su hijo, suplica lo salven del pacto con Mefistófeles. "Es sólo un pobre chico... “Perdona su vida de esta mostruosidad. Lo que viene fácil, fácil se va ¿le dejarás ir?" sus súplicas son escuchadas y los ángeles descienden para luchar contra las fuerzas del mal." Bismillah (palabra árabe q significa "En el nombre de Dios") es la primera palabra que aparece en el libro sagrado de los musulmanes, el Corán. Así que el mismísimo Dios aparece y grita "no te abandonaremos, dejadle marchar".

Ante tal enfrentamiento entra las fuerzas del bien y del mal, Freddie teme por la vida de su madre y le dice "Mama mia, mama mia let me go" (madre, déjame marchar). Vuelven a gritar desde el cielo que no van a abandonarle y Freddie grita "no, no, no, no, no" y dice "Belcebú (el Señor de las Tinieblas) es posible que haya puesto un diablo contigo madre". Freddie rinde aquí homenaje a Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart y Johann Sebastian Bach cuando canta... "Figaro, Magnifico" haciendo referencia a "Las Bodas de Figaro" de Mozart, considerada la mejor ópera de la historia, y al "Magnificat" de Bach. Termina la parte operística e irrumpe la parte más rockera. El diablo, colérico y traicionado por Freddie al no cumplir el pacto, le dice “Crees que puedes insultarme de esta manera? Crees que puedes acudir a mí para después abandonarme? Crees que puedes amarme y dejarme morir?”

Es estremecedor cómo el señor del mal se siente impotente ante un ser humano, ante el arrepentimiento y el amor. Perdida la batalla, el diablo se marcha y se llega al último acto o "coda" donde Freddie está libre y esa sensación le reconforta. Suena el gong que cierra la canción. El gong es un instrumento utilizado en China y extremo oriente asiático para sanar a personas que están bajo los efectos de espíritus malignos.

5:55 minutos dura. A Freddie le gustaba la astrología y el 555 en numerología está asociado con la muerte, no física, sino espiritual, el final de algo donde los ángeles te salvaguardarán. 555 está relacionado con Dios y lo divino, un final que dará comienzo a una nueva etapa.

Y la canción suena la víspera de los Santos por primera vez. Una festividad llamada "Samhain" por los celtas para celebrar la transición y apertura al otro mundo.

Los celtas creían que el mundo de los vivos y de los muertos estaban casi unidos, y el día de difuntos ambos mundos se unían permitiendo que los espíritus transitaran al otro lado. Nada en Bohemian Rhapsody es casual.

Todo está muy medido, trabajado y tiene un sentido que trasciende más allá de ser una simple canción. Ha sido votada a nivel mundial como la mejor canción de todos los tiempos.

Este tema supuso un cambio radical en Queen como si realmente hubiera hecho un pacto con el diablo, les cambió la vida para siempre y los hizo inmortales.

A Reuters journalist killed in strikes near the Israel-Lebanon border was deliberately targeted along with six other media workers injured in the attacks, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has said. Video journalist Issam Abdallah, 37, was killed in southern Lebanon on October 13 while covering fighting between Israel’s military and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah. Six other journalists, including Al Jazeera cameraperson Elie Brakhia and reporter Carmen Joukhadar, were wounded when two rounds of munitions hit the village of Alma al-Shaab in quick succession.

“Two strikes in the same place in such a short space of time (just over 30 seconds), from the same direction, clearly indicate precise targeting,” RSF said on Sunday, citing the preliminary results of an investigation based on video footage and ballistic analysis.[...]

While RSF did not directly attribute responsibility to Israel, the press freedom advocacy organisation said journalists had witnessed Israeli military helicopters near the scene and the strikes had come “from the direction of the Israeli border”.
